This bar is a cute corner spot, but not as many tables as you'd expect and a bit tight. We had to wait a bit on a Sunday. The service was just ok, we had to wait a while for our server to come back after food was set and provide us with silverware, but they were pretty busy and it didn't seem like there many servers to cover. Food was solid - Mac and cheese bites, buffalo wings, potato skins, and egg rolls. All solid. read more

This is a go to spot for me whenever I'm around. Its front area has a decent sized bar with a nice amount of tables and when it's warm they have outdoor seating as well as a back area with more tables and some tvs. The food here is really good, they have an assortment of sausages to some of the better wings (really good texture and flavors) in the city, for sure the neighborhood. I've had no complaints when I have been about anything including service, it does get busy so just know that. Great service, food and drinks. Catch some sports on the TVs. What more do you want? read more

Had a couple of spritzes and wings here. Great low key bar with good food. We started with scrumptious Mac and cheese bites and then shared the jumbo wings - we got mango habanero and hot buffalo. These were delicious and saucy. I also got a small side salad, but this was overdressed. Otherwise, everything was great. read more

This is my new favorite wing spot! Food was very quick, good sports bar vibes! To start we got nachos and Mac n cheese bites. The nachos were more of a wonton chip, they were good. The Mac n cheese bites were amazing. Sooo crispy! The wings are so good, cooked perfectly. I got the Carolina gold and mango habernero. The Carolina gold is sooo good, has a sweet taste. The mango habernero could be. Abut spicier but overall loved it! read more

Love Aberdeen Tap. Whether I'm just grabbing lowkey drinks at the bar or hanging at a table, it's always a chill spot in the West Town/River West area. Finally tried the food for the first time last week and got the chicken wrap which was super solid, and the fries were surprisingly great too. It's never overwhelmingly packed, which I appreciate, and the overall vibe is super relaxed with good music and a cool crowd. Drinks are on point, and the bartenders are always friendly. Definitely one of my newer favorite go to spots. read more

Walked in about 7pm on a Friday with my roommate. We wanted wings a few beers. No one at door and bartender inattentive. There were several open tables. So, we sat down and the inattentive bartender who could not be bothered by our presence bar went off on and yelled at us Totally uncalled for. We left. Won't be back after being treated like shit. Too many other places in the area that want and appreciate our business. The food could be great. But who wants to be screamed at? If being treated like shit is your idea of fun, go here. If it's not go elsewhere. No excuse!! read more

I actually love this place. But at least HALF the time I've ordered delivery over the past year they've forgotten half my order or given me something else entirely. Get yalls sh together in the kitchen read more

Place is very dark, i prefer to be able to see my food, also having zero dry rub options is tough, music also too loud

Summertime chi was in full effect so after looking at photos, I wanted to try this spot to sit on the sidewalk patio outside! I arrived and asked for a table for two and it was just a short wait at 7pm on a Thursday. The staff were kind and we decided to order the wings, fries, and the grilled chicken wrap!everything was just okay and nothing special, and the chicken wrap didn't have too much chicken in it, mainly lettuce and bacon bits. The vibe is fun being a neighborhood spot, but I won't be returning. read more

The Aberdeen Tap has an awesome location. It is very clean and the staff is super nice! I highly reckoned it if you're in the area.

Cool Chicago bar. Great service and healthy real pours. We will be back when in the hood. read more

Stopped in for some classic bar food and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. We had the buffalo cauliflower and chicken wings, both of which were amazing, and we've been back since. They also have a nice draft list, and the service was excellent. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the food. Above average bar food and several options. The table shared nachos, and that gave me confidence to order something else. I don't remember which grinder it was, but it reminded me of a Philly Cheesesteak with chicken instead of steak. It was rich and cheesy. The steak fries were crispy. Yum! read more

Great food! We placed an order through Uber Eats and it was incredibly efficient. Took less than 20 minutes from order to delivery. We ordered the wings, Caesar salad, chicken sandwich, and the nachos. Everything was delicious. Would definitely order all of those items again. Great food would recommend and would come back. read more

I love this place. I've never had bad service because the servers and bartenders I've encountered are so incredibly friendly and on top of it. But the main reason for this review is because we need to talk about these buffalo cauliflower wings they have because omg. I literally dream about them. They're so, so good. I'd go every day for them if I could. If I could add one thing to this place it would be a happy hour price menu for drinks. But these wings being $13 for themselves is a great deal as is, I will say. Anyway, get these cauli wings they're so good I could cry. read more

Wowza to the onion rings. Beer battered and a little peppery, absolutely delicious. The rest of our food was also surprisingly delicious, we had heard good things about it from friends in the neighborhood but looking at it I was expecting blah bar food. How wonderful to be wrong. We had the grilled chicken wrap and the southwest salad. The salad had a spicy dressing which was not kidding around. The chicken wrap was fresh and also has bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and avocado very fresh and creamy. The entire menu looks interesting, we had a hard time limiting ourselves. The outside is a dog friendly patio. There are no reservations and the dining area on the patio is quite narrow- it was hard to keep the dog from getting in the way of foot traffic as a result. Based on the size, this place is best for groups of 4 or less. Service was the one underwhelming piece for me, we came fairly early after opening on a Saturday and although it wasn't busy we were rushed to order and then one order was partially incorrect. Overall the food was impressive enough that I would give it another go. read more

One of my fav places for a good drink and bar food. The mac and cheese bites and buffalo chicken egg rolls are to DIE for. I love taking friends here and getting them hooked. read more

Good bar on the corner. It doesn't look like much, but it's better than it looks. The Aberdeen Tap is a casual place fun for gatherings and whatever. Has lots of beers on tap and mixed drinks. You can also get pretty good food including some healthier choices and not just the typical fried stuff. A somewhat unassuming place when you come upon it. It's on the corner of Aberdeen and Hubbard in a residential neighborhood. This is a good walk from the Blue Line station. Last time it was pretty busy. There were football games on the TVs. Even so, we were able to get seated at the bar. It's about $7 for a typical cocktail. There's also a few local beers on tap. Also, the food. We each got an Impossible Burger, pleasantly surprised about the choices for vegetarians. It's $16, but it's big. This comes with two patties, and a side. A lot of other food is typical stuff for a bar. They have wings and stuff like that. Better than expected. It's a pretty chill neighborhood bar, except when there's games on. The drinks are plentiful, and there's food options for vegans and vegetarians. read more

The Mac and cheese cubes had a beautiful crunchy exterior with a soft cheesy gooey interior, you should definitely try these. Also got the warm soft pretzels, these were alright, but not something that's a must order. Also, they had these grinders, specifically one of the most intriguing ones was the duck grinder with duck confit, crispy duck skin, chimichurri, and garlic aioli. I liked it, but was completely caught off guard with their truly delicious wings. We got two orders, and each order comes with 8 wings. The Buffalo sauce was solid, and paired well with the blue cheese, but a surprising flavor was the Jerk. The jerk had a smoky charred flavor with some heat. The Chiliyaki, now this was sweet, minimal heat level, and a nice play on teriyaki. My second favorite wing that I tried behind the buffalo was the Carolina Gold. It was sweet, tangy, and all of these wings were fried wonderfully. read more

Finally got the chance to sit at Aberdeen and it didn't disappoint. Went on a Sunday afternoon and it was buzzing with the best Chicago summer energy. Great staff, food and bar. Try the nachos with chicken. read more

A low key place to grab a drink or some snacks. The buffalo cauliflower was deliciously. I would definitely order it again. The hummus platter was good. But didn't come with enough veggies to dip hummus in. The Aperol sprits were refreshing (I ordered 2 so obviously like it). read more

This place is such a staple. It's exactly what you'd think it would be - low key with great drink prices and mediocre food. Was everything outstanding? No. But it's dependable and cheap and great for a neighborhood bar. read more

Stopped in to watch the Men's Basketball Olympic final between USA & France after dropping our dog off at a grooming appointment and am SO glad we did. The bar is super welcoming, and on this night day had people on the patio with windows open. We grabbed a seat, initially, at the bar, but moved to an open table (zero issues with staff following our tab). We grabbed some fries & Buffalo chicken egg rolls and they were both so good. We immediately looked at the menu to see what we'd get next time - can't wait to go back read more

Got delivery. Definitely impacted how good the food was. The grilled chicken wrap was super flavorful. Nice grill marks on the chicken, abundance of mayo, crunchy lettuce and bacon, and creamy avocado. Panini pressed. Sweet potato tots were sweet and yummy. The problem was that both things especially the tots were soggy. The pressed tortilla was soft and there was no crispiness to the tots. Would get again just in person. read more

The best polish sausage I have ever had paired with an old style. My life was made at 11 pm.

This bar is just up the street from me, has a really nice outdoor area and I've wondered why I don't use it more. Well today I realized, stopped there for two beers and an a simple appetizer at 5:30, when many other bars in the neighborhood are offering happy hour pricing. Two IPA's and one appetizer with tip $40. We ordered potato skins which were as pathetic as I've ever witnesse. I had no idea Russet potatoes came in such minuscule sizes. Four tiny little skins topped with a bit of cheese and bacon bits, $14. Add the tax and tip to that and you're looking at $18 plus for 4 measly potato skins. I honestly felt I was mugged, and won't be returning anytime soon despite the fact it's only a stones throw away. I truly hate to be ripped off like this. read more

After a fun weekend, my boyfriend wanted a chill spot to watch the Bears game. We stopped by here and had a great burger! It was so much fun to hang out with other locals and yell at the TV screens together lol read more

One of my go to bars in the area. Great food, drinks and the bartenders are like family!

Called ahead for estimated waited time on a WARM chicago Saturday and luckily for us there was no wait time! We walked right in and were able to get one of the few empty tables outside. We came during brunch so my friend had a mimosa and I had an aperol spritz. I can't remember what my friend had to eat, but I went with the poutine. I forgot to ask for no egg but here we are. It was tasty and I had left overs, but could have had more cheese. Overall chill vibes. read more

SOMUCHFOOD. Such good food. Ordered the Croatian sausage app and it's almost a full meal. My family is Croatian and the meat was quite good here. Got the Cuban sandwich and I swear it was bigger than my head. I ate half and I was stuffed! It was easily 2 inch plus high. It does have a lot more pork in the sandwich compared to ham in it. Nice beer selection , quick service. read more

Fun local neighborhood hangout. Was on a pub crawl Friday with a friend in the area and he took me here. While too nice of a place to be labeled a dive bar, I will still put it in that category out of respect and my love of these types of places. Bartenders that feel like they've known you for years, great local beers, and of course classic "old man" beers like PBR on tap. Did not get any food but I imagine it's decent by the size of the back kitchen. Great friendly service, sports on televisions, strong local neighborhood vibe. All aces in my book read more
